I bought an **** btu 115-volt hybrid window unit in late April 2022 for $569.99 which came to $623.85 with tax. The unit had a one year manufacturers warranty. In mid July 2023 I took out the filters to clean them as usual. While I had the filters out and was dusting off the outside of the unit I accidentally turned it on. I turned it off again, put the filters back, and when I turned it on I got an error code. I did as the manual and customer service instructed, and turned it off and unplugged it for 15 minutes so it would reset. According to both individuals I talked to through customer service, if the unit does not reset it is a defective unit. Within the one year window they will replace it. They do not service the units or advise you to have them serviced. These machines are designed to be disposable. Both individuals told me outright that my unit is defective and has a defective sensor, but theres nothing they can do and no one further to speak with. This company admits they sell defective units for over $500. I have never had an air conditioner break within the first 5 years of owning it. Now I notice that this unit I purchased is no longer for sale at ********** where I bought it, or wayfair where I originally saw it. This company has no consumer accountability. They were obviously aware of the problem when I spoke to them on the phone.Business response

I have a Soleus Air Window Air Conditioner and when I called the company for technical support because their unit is not working, they told me I needed to contact ************ you cannot get in contact with that company as the phone number is disconnected and wont return emails. SoleusAir should back anything that has their name on it. SoleusAir would not even take any of my information and attempt to help me because they said the other company made this particular model. How is the consumer to know that?Initial Complaint

Air Conditioner purchased at ******************** 05/25/19. It came with a five year warranty. Purchase price ******. Compressor broke and now I want my unit fixed or replaced as stated by the companys ******. This company is a scam. I think by looking at all of the reports and complaints there should be a class action suit filed against this place. the people barely speak English and they talk so fast you have no idea what they are saying then they try to get your credit card number and all your personal information. The number they give you in **************** is ************ the company is Soleusa Air. The company doesn't exist and the number above will get you transferred to *****. Someone needs to stop thisInitial Complaint

Purchased a HMT-D70E-ASoleusAir dehumidifier in 2019 from Menards, and recently received an E2 error code on it. When I tried to contact the support number on the sticker of the product, I was routed to a scam call center who wanted my information to send me gift cards. They knew nothing of the product nor were they interested in helping me, THIS WAS THE NUMBER ON THE PRODUCT. The company may have sold off their support for the product and 800 line was picked up by a scam out of *****. STAY AWAY FROM ALL SOLEUSAIR PRODUCTS!I would obviously like my model repaired/serviced or replaced, but I've given up on tracking down how to do this with working with the manufacturer.Initial Complaint

I called the number printed in the back of my book that came with my Soleusair portable dehumidifier as was trying to get service help. The number is not for the business. Is a scam. Every time someone answers they say a different company name, people barely speak English and talk very fast intentionally to make it more difficult to understand them. They attempt to collect as much personal information on you as possible including all phone numbers, address, emails, full legal name, and credit information and then say they are going to charge you for the call. Scary stuff. I only hope that they didnt get enough out of me to steal my identity. The number that is print in the book that came with unit is **************. My unit is still under warranty, so should be able to contact company with questions and get help. Be careful everyone. Appears there is no recourse here for them as in some ************** country.Initial Complaint
